I think this team are right there next year with the Patriots and Eagles as Super Bowl contenders with Cousins next year. I'm not even sure they make the playoffs next year with Blake,

There are 6 QBs that could be drafted this draft in the 1st round and no guarantee one even makes it to us. I count nine spots ahead of is in the draft where a QB could be picked, and that includes one of those teams taking Cousins.

There will not be a better chance than this to upgrade the position. Odds are low that Blake gets any better than he was this year, and odds are that if one of those QB falls to us, he turns into Paxton Lynch rather than Carr or Jimmy G.

I just see no downside in making this move. Sure, you lose a couple of solid defenders in a couple years, but that is what the draft is for and they could even restructure deals to be a part of a winning team.
